Hoseok is a really nice and lively guy for a gang member, Taehyung concludes. He even instructed him to call him by his nickname, Hobi, to which he agreed to happily.

They're at the main base now as what the man had said to him earlier. He informed him that their main base is here at Seoul and that this is where most of the action happens, but they do have many outposts and other big bases all over the country. 

He expected for the man to tie him up and shove him into the building, to leave him be like a lost puppy in this place that is very unknown to him. To his surprise, Hoseok is gentle and very attentive to all his questions that the latter answers openly. 

It isn't like what he has seen in movies at all, where the bad guys treats their hostages like shit and lock them up at basements or dungeons to torture them. No, it was far from that. Hobi is all smiles and warm guiding hands, with warmer eyes and a joyful voice.

So when he voices his thoughts, Hobi just pats his shoulder with a giggle and says, "We're comrades now, I would never treat my brothers in such a foul way." 

To be completely honest, he doesn't really know what's he's got himself into. For the past few months he's been trying to get away from his past life, tired of having to deal with all the consequences he'd face because of his job. He had quit from his agency and went very low profile for the past two years.

Taehyung only then accepted private jobs and quick assassinations from many different people who were willing to pay the price. Some were from dirty old men who held a grunge against someone from their past, some were from illegal groups and organizations, and some were for wealthy people who were to afraid to have blood on their own hands. 

But no matter how far he would run, no matter how much he hides, the demons in his mind still haunts him at night. He's still him, no matter how hard he tries or what he does, and maybe that's why he finds himself in this situation. Maybe that's why he's now working for the mafia in order to pay his brother's debts. Nothing really matters anymore, atleast he has something to keep him busy for a little while.

He just wants an escape.

They ride up the elevator in a comfortable silence, exiting the platform once the doors ding open and stops at the 12th floor. Hobi doesn't continue walking though, only stops at the beginning of the hallway.

"Unlike the other floors, this floor only has 2 rooms. Jeongguk resides at the one with the burgundy colored door, so you can occupy the other room." He states with a smile, bowing before turning for the elevator again. 

"Wait- Aren't you gonna show me?" Taehyung asks shyly, pouting at the way Hobi laughs and ruffles his hair. "Sorry, I can't. No one is really allowed to step foot on this floor other than the boss, but he ordered for you to stay here for now." The elevator arrives with a ding, the doors sliding open.

When Hobi waves and bids him goodnight, he's left alone in the cold hallway that is lighted up with a shiny chandelier that hangs on the ceiling. With a huff, Taehyung walks further down the fancy looking hallway until he's met with two brick colored walls. "Great, thanks a lot, Hobi." he mutters to himself with a sigh.

He's left dumbfounded as he debates whether he should enter the right or left door, which is exactly the same color. He chooses to open the right door, to which he finds that there's no one in the room when he peaks inside. Taehyung hesitantly comes inside, palms clammy and eyes wide.
